Decorative elements

Decorative elements give your scabbard that little extra something
it needs to show that it is something special.
Our ancestors tended to like very flamboyant decoration on their arms and armor,
but I've found that today's customer likes things to be a bit more understated.
If you want the gaudy to the simple or anything in between, I can supply what you are looking for.

Note that the items I have pictured below are just some examples of elements I have.
I have many more and have access to just about anything that you desire.
If you want something to match your coat of arms, your favorite animal etc, simply ask.
